Possible Causes
Failed door lock switch, Misaligned door latch, Broken wiring between lock switch and EOC
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before accessing the lock mechanism.
Steps to check:
- Check door alignment: Ensure the oven door closes fully and the latch engages smoothly. Bent hinges or a warped door can prevent proper lock switch operation.
- Access lock switch: Remove the rear or top panel to access the door lock assembly. Identify the lock position switch(es).
- Test switch: With a multimeter, check continuity of the lock switch in both locked and unlocked positions. Replace the switch or entire lock assembly if readings are incorrect.
- Inspect wiring: Look for broken or burnt wires between the lock switch and the EOC. Repair any damage with proper high-temperature-rated wire and connectors.
